SSBC#20- Watercolor!

Happy Wednesday!! Welcome to the new installment of the Serendipity stamp challenge. This time we are to watercolor. It's such a fun and easy technique but, one I forget about using quite often.

Here's my card....

 

I have had these feathers- Feather Background- in my stash for a while and have been wanting to play with them. Mary has some fabulous flowers but, I really wanted to see if I could watercolor these. I stamped the large background image in early espresso and heat embossed with clear.... the embossing makes the watercoloring easier... no bleeding. Then, I used my water brush to color the feathers in red/pink, greens. and yellows. Next, I over stamped the images with a Serendipity stamps Nature Gives sentiment on an angle. Layered some papers and added a little stitching.

 

I have this tendency to decorate the inside.... here it is



Thought the "In The Attitude " sentiment went well with feathers.

Hope you find time to join us, and...
